Vanessa Marano previews what is next for Bay on SWITCHED AT BIRTH

ABC Family’s SWITCHED AT BIRTH made a big splash this season when they presented a story line that found Bay Kennish (Vanessa Marano) dealing with questions of sexual consent after a night of drinking at a college party with old boyfriend Tank (Max Adler).  What followed was a story about campus rape told in the gray area where nothing is black and white, and neither party is 100% right or wrong. The story line was handled beautifully by writers and

Max Adler talks Tank on SWITCHED AT BIRTH – “I was fascinated, so I definitely wanted to play him”

An all new episode of SWITCHED AT BIRTH heads to ABC Family tonight at 8/7c, and to celebrate the ongoing story of Bay and Tank, and how exactly he fits in among the Bay and Emmett fans, I spent some time chatting with Max Adler (GLEE).  He previewed for us what drew him to the role, if it was a conscious effort to NOT play a bully this time around, and what we can expect. I have to say –I

Chatting SWITCHED AT BIRTH with Katie Leclerc

It’s always a pleasure to speak with Katie Leclerc.  Though she describes herself as a “nerd,” she’s truly one of the most humble, sincere people I’ve ever met. Murder Mystery Bash When we spoke via phone recently about Switched at Birth’s Third Season, Leclerc teased a bit about Daphne as well as one of her favorite episodes of the season, “The Scream,” which aired just after we spoke.  In the episode, Kathryn (Lea Thompson) held a “Mafia” murder-mystery bash, with

Lucas Grabeel Previews SWITCHED AT BIRTH’s Summer Finale

The latest season of SWITCHED AT BIRTH has rolled along this summer as one of the best shows on television – smart drama, funny moments, and a glimpse inside the lives of two very different families as they continue to figure out where exactly they belong.  The story of Bay and Daphne, and how their switch impacted their families continues to be one of the best written and acted shows on the air.  This season comes to a conclusion tonight

Katie Leclerc previews tonight’s ‘What If?’ episode of SWITCHED AT BIRTH, “Ecce Mono”

Following the events of last week’s shocking episode which not only had Regina and John having an all out screaming war, but John collapsing, suffering an apparent heart attack, tonight’s all new episode of SWITCHED AT BIRTH, titled “Ecce Mono,” follows our favorite characters through an alternate reality of sorts. It plays with the idea of what might have happened if Regina had come clean those many years ago. How would the lives of the Kennish-Vasquez family have been different?

Vanessa Marano and Gilles Marini talk SWITCHED AT BIRTH Season 2!

SWITCHED AT BIRTH premieres tonight on ABC Family at 8/7c (check out CK’s preview) with the first episode of Season 2 – after what felt like a 6 year Season 1 – and we talked to Vanessa Marano (Bay) and Gilles Marini (Angelo) about what’s coming next for our favorites! Check it out and let us know – are you tuning in for all new episodes?

Courtney K Takes on the SWITCHED AT BIRTH Winter Premiere

WELCOME WELCOME 2013! With the winter break of Christmas Specials and cable shows, I hope you all have had a great Holiday season. Now, BRING ON THE NEW STUFF! The last time we saw the Kennish/Vasquez tribe, they had just gone through an emotional trial resulting in verdicts in favor of our favorite blended family; however the majority of the spoils went to absentee-father Angelo (to the tune of $5 million bucks!). After the trial, we saw the semi-sisters Daphne

SWITCHED AT BIRTH’s Katie Leclerc’s Real-Life Hearing Impairment

Katie Leclerc, who plays Daphne in Switched at Birth, lends credibility to her role through her own hearing impairment. When I spoke with her recently about her role on the show, I was surprised to learn that she discovered at age 20 that she has memiere’s disease.  She told me, “It’s measured by four main symptoms.  There’s pressure in the ear, ringing in the ear, a fluctuality of hearing loss, and a type of vertigo.  Any of these can come

SWITCHED AT BIRTH star Katie Leclerc gives us the scoop on the rest of Season 1!

When we last left the Kennish-Vasquez family, the combined-and-dysfunctional group on SWITCHED AT BIRTH, things were in turmoil.  A long absent father (Angelo) had thrown things into chaos.  Bay’s relationship with Emmett was doomed because he did the unthinkable and slept with Simone, causing Bay to head to the Galapagos Islands for a little perspective.  And after weeks of struggling with the Bay/Emmett relationship, Daphne had finally found happiness with her real brother’s best friend, a delinquent named Wilkie, only

Courtney looks back on her Favorites from 2011

Courtney K is taking a look back on her favorites from 2011 – how do these stack up to yours? Favorite new obsession: DOCTOR WHO – where HAVE I been?? In a world with faded colors that’s where. Becoming a Doctor Who fan (or Whovian) has brought me a whole mess of new appreciations. Much like fans of Army of Darkness or Firefly, there’s hidden jokes in almost everything I watch or read that all point back to one Doctor
